TERRELL <\/strong>\u2013 A 16-year-old is in police custody after leading police on a chase in a stolen vehicle.<\/p>\n

On July 23, around 8:40 p.m., Terrell police officers were notified that the stolen vehicle was nearby.<\/p>\n

Police were able to locate the vehicle, which was reported stolen out of the Dallas Police Department. After an attempt to stop the vehicle, the driver fled.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During the chase, the driver of the stolen vehicle entered Terrell State Hospital grounds and rammed into a gate in an attempt to exit. The driver continued to lead police on a chase.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The driver was then met by an unmarked police vehicle and drove “at a high rate of speed” directly towards them, according to Terrell police.<\/p>\n

An off-duty officer was in the passenger seat of the unmarked unit and fired a single round at the suspect through the windshield. The gunfire missed the driver and the vehicle and they continued to drive off.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 16-year-old, a Terrell resident, was taken into custody and has been charged with unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, evading arrest\/detention with a vehicle, an accident involving damage to a vehicle and criminal mischief. An additional charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon might be added, police said.<\/p>\n

The officer who shot the weapon is on paid leave pending the outcome of the investigation, which is standard practice for the Terrell Police Department.<\/p>\n

No injuries were reported.<\/p>\n
